Since losing to Cy Creek Oct. 6, Cy Falls has been flawless winning five straight to close the season. The streak capper was a 47-33 victory over Cy Springs to finish second in District 17-5A. This playoff appearance is Cy Falls' seventh overall and fourth in a row. Mayde Creek's season ended with a thud. Its modest two-game winning streak was obliterated by Katy, 63-3, in the season finale. It is Mayde Creek's seventh appearance in the playoffs, its first since 1997.
